A sign permit is required prior to installing both permanent and temporary signs.
Temporary Signs
A temporary sign is a sign intended for use for relatively short periods of time. Such signs will now require a permit before being posted. They may be posted for up to 90 days per calendar year per business in either 3, 7, 15, 30 or 60 consecutive day periods or 30 or 60 non-consecutive day periods. There is no limit on the number of temporary signs that may be posted at any one time. However, the total square footage of all signs combined may not exceed 48 square feet in sign area. No individual sign may exceed 16 square feet in sign area, exceed 6 feet in height, and be a minimum distance of 3 feet from property lines.

In addition, no sign is allowed to be placed in the public right of way, or placed on private property without the owner's consent.
